1957 Map of Long Island Marsh SE

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Long Island Marsh dominates this mid-century landscape where the boundaries of DeSoto, Highlands, Charlotte, and Glades counties converge. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and wetlands, including Rainey Slough and the winding Gannet Slough. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by the Montgomery Ranch and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the marshy interior. This 1957 topography reveals a wilderness in transition, where old transportation corridors like the railroad grade were already becoming part of the landscape's history. Smaller features like Tippen Bay and Gator Br suggest the localized geography known to those working this cattle and ranching country.
